These were outstanding. Mine came out crackly and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside--very pretty, too! I do think it's a must to use all natural peanut butter (crunchy is awesome). I used the ingredients in the recommended amounts, but changed how I mixed them together. I dumped my 16 oz. jar of crunchy peanut butter out into a bowl and mixed in the oil very well first. In a separate bowl, I mixed together the sugar, baking soda, and salt. Then I mixed that in with the peanut butter (otherwise, I didn't see how the soda and salt would be evenly distributed). I did mix the eggs in separately after adding the vanilla. My dough was very pliable and formed into balls easily. I barely pushed my cookies down with the fork and they came out perfect. I also took the advice of another reviewer and baked them on tin foil (with no grease). They were very easy to handle once almost cooled. I will make these again and again.
